The input name. Is not guaranteed to be a valid input on the entity.

Activator of the input
4 Entity caller
Caller of the input
5 any value
Data provided with the input. Will be either a string, a number, a boolean or a nil.

Example

This would block any input that the lua_run entity would receive.

hook.Add( "AcceptInput", "BlockLuaRun", function( ent, name, activator, caller, data ) if ( ent:GetClass() == "lua_run" ) then return true end end )

Example

Block the Open/Close input on doors.

local DoorClasses = { ["func_door"] = true, ["func_door_rotating"] = true } local BlockedInputs = { ["Open"] = true, ["Close"] = true } hook.Add( "AcceptInput", "BlockDoors", function( ent, name, activator, caller, data ) if ( BlockedInputs[name] and DoorClasses[ent:GetClass()] ) then return true end end )
